Chapter 28: A woman with magic!
She dropped one bomb after another, every word of hers sending fright through the bodies of the Iryne and duchess Mila. They saw no hint of fear or proof of lies on Sigrid’s face, it appeared that she was quite serious about what she had just said.
Duchess Mila took to her feet, walked closer to Sigrid and touched her forehead.
"Have you taken ill my dear? You have displayed some behaviors that are unlike you of recent and I am beginning to find them questionable. Aren’t you in love with Roland, why do you seem so cold and indifferent to him now?"
"I feel the same way," Iryne narrowed her eyes at Sigrid. "Is there something that you have been hiding from us?"
A tremor run through Sigrid’s heart, she put the fork down and dubbed at the corners of her lips with a cloth napkin. Slowly, she set it down and decided to weave a tale that she had long crafted to explain the changes in her behavior.
"I did not mean to hide this from you but I think I awakened my magic talented." she said.
Once again, her mother and grandmother gasped. Duchess Mila stood up, the sudden action sent the chair toppling to the floor.
Iryne rushed to close the windows, she even opened the doors to the parlors and asked the knights and servants to step further away. After ensuring that they were safe, they sat closer to Sigrid, forming a circle. They lowered the voices and started to speak in whispers.
"When did this happen?" Duchess Mila questioned.
